I know I'm probably wrong, but when I first saw it, I imagined a Frenchman saying "Heinz" (like to rhyme with lines). Sorry!

In-YEZ

I would say Inn-ezz, but have heard it pronounced Eeen-ith

dizzydixies · 16/05/2010 20:14

sorry to sound like a stalker but it was a lovely MNer called GreenElisabeth who helped me name DD3 and I wondered if it was you name changing ?

Greensleeves · 16/05/2010 20:59

no, it wasn't me, GreenElizabeth was someone else

wish it had been me though, I love baby names

Little girl in ds2's class called Ines, and it is pronounced Inniss (which surprised me by the way).
